Hi all so iv been on and off youtube and twitch streaming for a few years now as seem to have issues keeping a smooth recording or streaming progress so, here is my question what is the best in your own opinion streaming software and hardware setup.

Im currently using both Xsplit prem and sometimes OBS software and debating whether using my avermedia c985 as the capture device for both PC and console gaming is better then using game capture or display capture. The reason im asking is because i keep getting issues where just the video on the software will start to stutter but the game is perfectly fine im not sure whether it is something causing an issue with the software or whether i need to upgrade my GPU.

Here is the specs.

windows 10 home

i5 7500

gigabyte b250-HD3p

8gb corsair vengeance LPX ram dd4

avermedia c985

soundblaster z

760gtx geforce windforce OC editon

120gb SSD and 500gb HDD soon to be upgraded.

monitors bush 24" LED tv HDMI, iivama prolite e483s using DVI
In summary I keep getting stutter on OBS but not in Game iv tried Vsync, putting game on lowest settings which in CSGO goes to 200+fps GTA V same FPS with vsync 59-60 fps. But I would like to know what is the best way to solve this or do I need to upgrade my GPU. OR a 2nd pc which I do have just it has a 8800GTX in there but has my old AMD 6100 OC and gigabyte mobo.
Thanks

Your PC can't keep up with 720p. Try lowering resolution or lower settings in your game/capping FPS.

ok what would be causing that issue? and I have just put my avermedia c985 into my 2nd pc to use as a streaming pc and that works amazing 720p 60fps no frame drop or stuttering anymore.Just need to fix the audio though, do you know what is the best way to get pc audio from gaming pc to streaming pc I was trying to use my behringer q802usb but seems to loose some sounds?
